Portsmouth v Aston Villa Betting: Premier League Top 4 Place at Stake for O’Neill

FA Cup Finalists, Portsmouth welcome Aston Villa to Fratton Park this Sunday in what will be their penultimate Premier League home match. Although in league terms there is very little Pompey can get out of the game, they will no doubt still be playing for pride and for their fantastic fans who will be urging them along to claim all three points. The Bookmakers in fact give them very little chance, which opens the door on a number of betting opportunities for punters and soccer fans alike.Bet365 for instance are offering a very tempting 9/2 for a Pompey win and 11/4 for the draw, while Villa are little value being odds on at 4/6.

Punters should bear in mind that Villa, have only won once in their last five matches and have drawn eight times in their last thirteen fixtures, which is hardly form that justifies their odds on status for this match. They are also under huge pressure, with time running out on their challenge for a top four finish, something that they can completely forget about should they not win this.

The two teams last met in the league last September, when Villa won comfortably by 2-0, with goals coming from England hopefuls, Gabi Agbonlahor and James Milner. These two are both amongst the favourites in the goalscorer markets for this match with Agbonlahor 4/1 to score the opening goal and Milner a 9/4 option to score during the 90 minutes. These odds are available from Bet 365.For Portsmouth, Frederic Piquionne, who opened the scoring in extra time against Spurs last week in the FA Cup semi final, looks an outstanding bet at 9/1 to score the first goal of this match.

We think that Portsmouth can take advantage of an under pressure Villa sise and take the points from this match. We suggest that it will be very close, with defences in command, but a scoreline of 1-0 for Pompey looks very realistic and we would back that at 9/1 also with Bet365.
